Grewal’s Mesmerizing Sufi Songs

Kanwar Grewal was welcomed on stage with the lighting of a cold fire, and he greeted the audience before commencing his captivating performance. He kept the audience enthralled with his Sufi songs until late into the night, with the crowd joining in to sing along to one of his famous tracks, "Sahamne baitha hove yaar, te milna penda he…"

Through his songs, such as "Japale Ram Nu, Dhayale Ram Nu…," "Jihne Duniya Pravyaat Kiti…," "Vekh Mardanya Rang Kartar De…," "Tikatan Do Lai Lee…," and "Khalsa Sada Azad Hai…," Grewal made the Sangat aware of the rich history of Sikhism and appealed to them to rise above casteism and recite "Ek Kartar" (One God).
